In the series 2 episode, Schadenfreude, there were a couple or so current event references during the night club case section. Bill Mahers' first show gets canned for him making a show-appropriate joke.
But what was this thing about Robin Williams joking about homosexuals on some awards show and getting in trouble?
What's that story? What happened, there?
"Robin Williams got his own back on Oscars organizers on Monday night when he gave TV viewers a taste of the Academy Awards song he was banned from performing.
Appearing on pal Jay Leno‘s The Tonight Show to promote new movie Robots, Williams read out an extract from the lyrics deemed unsuitable for the Oscars.
The 53-year-old is still baffled as to why the harmless song, which made fun of the recent SpongeBob SquarePants homosexual furor, was axed two days before the Oscars ceremony."
